ABOVE AGE LIMIT YET ENLISTS AS U. S. GUARD

Springfield, lll.—Presenting a faded honorable discharge from the army written on sheepskin and dated ISS6, John B. Landis, aged fifty-eight, has enlisted here in the United States guards. He is a veteran of Custer’s famed Indian command. Although he is eighteen years beyond the ago limit, recruiting officers accepted him because of his splendid physical fitness. Landis has one son in the aviation section in France.
